Susan Goldberg - Garage Sale Susan
"Garage Sale Susan" is a nickname for the endearing Rhode Island native Susan Goldberg, who is seemingly always on the search for unusual treasures. As a young girl her eye for collecting sometimes left her parents concerned, as she adorned her bedroom with an array of sock monkeys, Partridge Family items, and old sepia-toned photos of dead people and their dogs.

A freshman student of Emerson College at the early age of 16, Susan's reputation for unique decor extended to the dorm room she transformed to resemble a movie set. Her later years in Boston working in local cable television and her many travels around the world only broadened a love of the eclectic. Susan's favorite holiday is Queen's Day in Holland, where the entire country holds a yard sale to celebrate the Queen's birthday. Her 1920s Moroccan style home in Los Angeles is a showcase of her varied collections of reverse-glass paintings, iron dog banks, chalk ware carnival dogs, and hundreds of original wooden "salty and peppys," among a million other wonderful one-of-a-kind items. Now a resident of Los Angeles for the last 15 years, Garage Sale Susan enjoys tooling around Southern California in her red 1953 Chevy pick-up truck (purchased on eBay) searching for "pre-owned treasures."
